They DON'T have any resemblance to any film that I have seen from the 80's about gang warfare in New York!  ;)

Groovy, my man, totally groovy... lol lol

I keep checking Half Price Books for a copy of The Warriors to show up, but no luck so far. That was one of the iconic films of my high school years...

I recently watch this documentary- essential viewing for this project imo:

If you are in the UK it is on BBC Iplayer until Friday.

Yes Rubble Kings is a great documentary. One of the guys that is in it Carlos Suarez (Karate Charlie) recently passed away. He was the main guy from the Ghetto Brothers and did a lot to bring peace between the gangs.

That is a shame, he seemed a decent genuine guy in the doc.
